STAA FAQ
The Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) of 1982 allows large trucks to operate on the Interstate and certain primary routes called collectively the National Network. These trucks, referred to as STAA trucks, are longer than California legal trucks. As a result, STAA trucks have a larger turning radius than most local roads can accommodate. View Caltrans' Quick Guide: Truck Lengths & Routes for a more detailed discussion of truck sizes.
For more information about STAA Truck Routes, see Section 9.60 of the Yuba County Ordinance Code.
The County performs engineering analyses that focus on a vehicle characteristic called “off-tracking.” Off-tracking occurs when the rear tires of a vehicle follow a shorter path than the front tires while turning.
Off-tracking is a primary concern with longer vehicles because the rear tires may clip street signs, travel onto shoulders, sidewalks, or bike lanes, or cross the centerline on curves. These movements can create safety hazards for adjacent and oncoming traffic.
